As far as I know, hiring isn't happening through the end of the summer. I had a buddy interview in mid January and he's now scheduled for an August date but I wouldn't feel honest calling it a 7 month wait. I would still say keep that app updated and if you can come to the table with ATP-CTP already completed, they will take you much more quickly. I know 2 guys who got placed in the next available class post-interview because they got their CTP course done outside of the company. My best guess is that this trend will continue as spots open up.
